NMB : Simple closed-loop systems ANESTHESIOLOGIST PATIENT MONITOR : INFUSION DEVICE CONTROLLER
Simple closed loop systems :the controller • Properties • Output dependent on the control opération • rapidly achieve a stable control • protected from electrical interference and noise • easy to monitor and to operate • Principle based upon the error (e= measured - target) • Proportional : Rate = K . Weight . e • Proportional Integral: Rate = Kp.weight.e + Ki.weight.(Se+P) • Proportional Integral Derivative: Rate = K1.e+K2.Se+K3.de/dt
dE/dt setpoint E - + Fuzzifier Fuzzy control Defuziffier Process Fuzzy logic control • Control accepting qualitative data as «small»,«big»... • Input = error E and change in the error • Output = controller or change in the controller • Ex. «IF error = 0 and change in error is positive small, THEN output is negative small ».

PKPD MODEL : ERROR ON THE PK • Wrong drug (rare!) • Wrong model (elimination from central compartment) • PK parameters not adjusted to the current patient • Age • elderly (CL1æ Vdss ä) • infants (CL1 and Vdss ä) • Obesity (ideal weight vs. real weight) • Renal or liver failure • Variability
PKPD MODEL : ERROR ON THE PD • PD model inadapted : • Emax vs. others ? • other muscle or measure than in the model • PD parameters not adjusted to the patient • Age : EC50 lower in infants • Burning • Interactions (volatile +++) • Wrong Ke0 : hypothermia, age • Variability
HOW TO DECREASE THE ERROR? • Adjust the PK and PD model to covariates • Clinical research and publications • Library of models • Enter a measured value to adjust the model : Bayesian forecasting • Take globally account of the patient covariates • Could change over time

Bayesian approach • Comes from Bayes description of conditional probability • Combines : • the amount of information given by a population model • with 1 or few pieces of information coming from a patient • to improve the accuracy of the model to describe this patient • Has been used mainly by adding a measured concentration to PK model and applied to antibiotics, lidocaine, theophylline, antineaplasic agents,...
Bayesian adaptation using Stanpump • Available for atracurium, vecuronium, rocuronium • Only for target blockade less than 95% • Adjust the PK model to a measured value of effect • This value is entered manually (open loop) • Then adjust the target in order to have minimal change
CONCLUSION • The effects of muscle relaxants could be measured • This measured effect can • act as input in closed loop system where output is dose • become a target for CCI based on PKPD model • be compared to the target to adapt the model to the patient • PK model : mainly interindividual variability • PD model : mainly intraindividual variability • The relevant clinical effects corresponding to these measures remain to be known
